Handling power cords and power plugs

This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power plugs.

WARNING


  • Connect this machine only to a power source that matches the specifications shown in "Specifications for the Main Unit" in this manual and do not use an extension cord.

  • Use of this machine with extension cords and power sources other than those that match the specifications shown constitutes an electric shock and fire hazard.

WARNING


  • Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard.

WARNING


  • Power cords that are damaged, broken, modified, trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely are electric shock and fire hazards.

WARNING


  • Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.

  • If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.), contact your service representative to change a new one. Operating the machine with a damaged power cord may cause an electric shock or fire.

WARNING


  • It is dangerous to handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this may result in receiving an electric shock.

CAUTION


  • When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).

CAUTION


  • Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.

CAUTION


  • To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord itself. Doing so may result in damage to the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.

  • For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine will not be used for an extended period of time such as holidays.

  • Before moving the machine, be sure to disconnect all external connections, especially the power cord from the wall outlet. Damaged power cords are a fire and electric shock hazard.
